Description
Deepfakes: Synthetic Media and the Erosion of Trust Graham Meikle explores how AI technologies create convincing videos that manipulate people's faces and images, leading to a media environment where trust is increasingly challenged. This book delves into the world of deepfake videos, from celebrity porn and political satire to movie mash-ups and disinformation campaigns. Meikle examines how face-swapping software affects our capacity to trust in contemporary media, where remixing and sharing content conflicts with trusting what we see. The author analyses how deepfakes deepen the social media environment, where all human experience becomes data to be shared. A timely and accessible analysis of the impact of synthetic media on our society, this book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of media, communication, cultural studies, and sociology.
